He has performed with several Spanish orchestras and collaborated with artists including Jorge Pardo and Jerry González.
His work focuses particularly on developing the marimba as a solo instrument in flamenco. This exploration led to his debut album, *Andalucía* (2007), for marimba and flamenco ensemble.
